Annotation: University textbooks continuously accompany the reader with current examples of the dimensions of artistic communication and interpretation. While the previous volume, Fundamentals of Artistic Communication and Interpretation, represented a modeling entry, or rather an overview of artistic communication and interpretation, its subsequent continuation, Into the Miracles /interpretative probes on the subject Fundamentals of Artistic Communication and Interpretation/, expands on other reception and communication strategies. For students of the cultural studies study program, it is an exercise teaching material, complementary to the in-depth study of the subject Fundamentals of Artistic Communication and Interpretation in connection with some focal models of selected representatives of the so-called Nitra school. This time, the dominant focus of attention was completely narrowed to the international multi-genre site-specific festival in the countryside, Into the Miracles (July 1 - July 4, 2023), which was unique and special in several aspects. The concept of this event was a multi-day pilgrimage for miracles along an 80 km long walking route through the regions of south-central Slovakia. The festival thus provided an extraordinary experience of the journey/procession (of artistic communication as a journey). The event was ideal for cultural and aesthetic-scientific studies as an example of researching the laws of reception, artistic communication and interpretation, so to speak, in an outdoor environment with the dominant backdrop of the landscape and its picturesqueness, natural environment and overall rural color. At the same time, it offered an extremely diverse variability of the reception semiosis of artistic miracles by domestic and foreign creators, which were distributed across the country within the set hiking route. The multi-day pilgrimage for the sacred dimension of beauty also became an opportunity to perceive the narrative level of the entire festival, providing in its dramaturgy the uniqueness of scenes/phenomena of miracles and the need for its search or revitalization.

Notes: preface by Eero Tarasti

Annotation: This book is an introduction to Eero Tarasti's works on music, as well as musical semiotics in general. It covers a wide range of sources from multiple disciplinary fields in order to familiarize the reader with the basic language and common references of semiotic inquiries in music. Starting with the basics of structural and Peircean semiotics, theories of discourse, topic theory and others, and their application to music, the book moves on to discuss their interpretation in Tarasti's decade-long oeuvre.

Presahy semiotických a kulturálnych štúdií

Július Fujak

Edition
1 edition

Culture Univerzita Konštantína Filozofa v Nitre 9788055820927 Available

View details

Annotation: After a series of recent musical and artistic projects, musician, educator and theorist Július Fujak has also made a name for himself as a journalist. His latest publication is primarily a scientific and pedagogical publication intended for students of humanities, but its broad-spectrum content can provide space for reflection for those interested in diverse views and perspectives on current issues of contemporary culture and art. The publication is divided into two thematic areas: The first area, entitled Overlaps of Semiotic Studies, focuses on the field of semiotics of art, and the second represents Overlaps of Cultural Studies. The leitmotif of Fujak's work is precisely the phenomenon of overlaps between contemporary semiotics and culturology. Both disciplines, subject to development and transformation in current economic, social and cultural realities, find themselves (like many other disciplines) at an imaginary crossroads. They can remain in the closedness of now-outdated theoretical concepts or, in the words of Július Fujak, "become part of a revitalization effort to investigate socially culture-forming phenomena in the intentions of the necessarily complementary interdisciplinary overlap of the postmodern scientific discourse of semiotic and cultural studies". It is precisely the ability to observe and (re)discover mutual overlaps in the aforementioned branches of contemporary humanities that we find in the individual critically reflected topics of Fujak's current book.

Notes: Sign-worlds. Studies from the Budapest Contemporary Semiotics Workshop

Annotation: The studies in this volume are part of a project on the semiotics of space, which emerged from research conducted in Budapest Contemporary Semiotics Workshop. This project is primarily based on the real fact that we live in multiple types and kinds of sign-spaces in society. These sign-spaces, such as a traffic sign system or a film location, are semiotically describable units of space filled with sign-formations and signs that are interconnected in some way. The implementation of the spatial semiotics project has three main strands, as illustrated by papers in this volume: firstly, researchers map the syntactic and other features of existing sign-spaces, and secondly, they use the resulting toolbox to refine descriptive semiotic procedures. Finally, and thirdly, they apply these tools to solve practical problems.

Annotation: University teaching texts provide students of the study program Culturology with a practically modeling entry, or rather an overview of artistic communication and interpretation, which will guide them through several examples of reception and communication practice. The recapitulation sequence documents the story of a specific 2022/2023 semester cycle, partly of a monothematic nature. They are united by the concretization of one model of artistic communication and interpretation (chapter no. 1 Teaching texts/instruction sheets on reception aesthetics). The starting point is reception aesthetics honed and conceptually profiled at the Institute of Literary and Artistic Communication of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Bratislava in Nitra, from which the texts of individual chapters are subsequently (referentially) created, embedded in the university pedagogical practice of the study of Culturology, and applied as a motif (chapter no. 2 Journeys of one semester cycle).

Other title information: The Tradition of Ferdinand de Saussure

Annotation: The book is an in-depth presentation of the European branch of semiotic theory, originating in the work of Ferdinand de Saussure. It has four parts: a historical introduction, the analysis of langue, narrative theory and communication theory. The book concerns the European branch of semiotic theory, originating in the work of Ferdinand de Saussure. It briefly reviews the historical schools of modern semiotics and then focuses on the Saussurean theory of the language system, the principles of narrative analysis as developed by A. J. Greimas, and the extension of this theoretical framework to the understanding of communication and the social nature of semiotic systems. It emphasizes the operational aspects of semiotics and matters of methodology and techniques, including the initiative of quantitative analysis.

(Re)considering Roman Jakobson

edited by Elin Sütiste | Remo Gramigna | Jonathan Griffin | Silvi Salupere

Edition
1 edition

Linguistics University of Tartu Press 9789949036301 Available

View details

Annotation: This book was initiated by a graduate course of Elin Sütiste about semiotics of Roman Jakobson (1896–1982), given in the Department of Semiotics, University of Tartu. The contributions include articles by the doctoral students as well as co-lectures, visiting scholars and colleagues. These seminars affirmed that Jakobson was truly an ambitious, forward-thinking scholar who exerted himself to establish semiotics as a discipline. Though Jakobson identified himself as a philologist, he played a pivotal role in the development and institutionalization of semiotics. Jakobson’s ability to grasp the potential of new ideas and to inspire others was remarkable. Juri Lotman has commented that “Wherever his fate of a mid-20th-century man took him, everywhere Jakobson attracted a group of scientists that soon grew into a scientific centre of global importance”.
